HY-WIRE THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE OF TOMORROW

ABSTRACT

HY-WIRE – This term is coined from the technologies used to drive this vehicle. i.e. Hydrogen fuel cells and By-Wire technologies.
The hydrogen fuel cells produce clean power. In this, the hydrogen is combined with oxygen to produce electricity required, the by-products being only heat and water vapor. The hydrogen required is compressed and stored in the vehicle. This makes the vehicle environment friendly. As the fuel cells are nearly twice as efficient as an internal combustion engine, the running cost will also be cheaper.
By-Wire technology replaces all the hydro-mechanical systems with electromagnetic systems. i.e. mechanical parts controlled by electronic equipments. This technology makes the use of cables obsolete and instead we use wires to pass the impulses to a microcontroller, which in turn controls the vehicle.
This results in the production of a purely electric vehicle where the only moving things other than the protons, electrons, water and the motor are the wheels and suspension.
